Subject: hero in love chapter 17
So here it is!! my montage!! lol.
chapter 17. Saving people.
It had been a bad day for her. the passengers had been naggy, and
for some reason her stomach was acting up on landing. Sara had taken
stomach medicine, but nothing. So now she was waiting to get off the stupid
plane, finish her routine.. and leave.
Suddenly lightning flashed outside, highlighting the rain on the
windows. Oh, it was a bad day. now lightning, on top of everything
else. Lightning could sneak up on top of a plane without warning, and here
it was. with her luck, they'd be rerouted and she'd have to wait to catch
another plane back to her airport.
Lightning struck again, interrupting her thoughts, and then the
power went out. Oh, this was definitely not her day. She began her
emergency routine, as she felt the plane began to glide out of control,
trying not to let the passengers hear the panic in her voice. She could
see the other Flight Attendants doing the same thing as her.
Sara wished she were somewhere else right now, as the plane picked
up speed, causing everything that wasn't firmly secured downl to shake
violently. Was this how she was going to die? a plane crash from a random
lightning strike?
Then she felt the plane shift subtly. what? Then the plane stopped
shaking, the rattling from loose cargo stopped, and the plane's angle had
changed too. Sara no longer felt the pressure of the plane's landing on her
body. What? the power was still off.. no lights were working.. what had
happened?
then a young girl from a window seat shouted. " Its that super
boy!! I see his glow under the plane!" She clapped her hands in glee.
Everyone cheered and clapped as the plane began what would be its roughest,
and yet smoothest descent ever.
****************
The girl was scared. the whole world was shaking around her. The
leafy palms were shaking like the wind was blowing, but there was no wind
at all. the dirt was moving, and her hut was swaying. She stomped the
ground, wanting it to stop..
"Make it stop, Daddy!!" she spoke in her own tongue, stomping the
ground again. She was angry. She didn't want to leave. But her father
picked her up, despite her protests.
"Oh, my little girl. I cannot. The volcano God is active. We must
leave." Just then the large volcano on the island began to erupt, sending
out large chunks of rock and smoke. She looked up at it, fear beginning to
sink into her small body. where would they live? What would they do?
Then, out of the sky, a blew streak shot across the clouds, and
smoke. What was it? It was pretty. Then it stopped, and the girl thought
she could see a strange looking boy, surrounded by blue. Was it the sky
god? was he going to punish the volcano god for being mean?
She watched as the Sky God darted across the sky, shooting bolts of
blue at the falling rocks, turning them into harmless dirt. She clapped and
cheered as the sky god defended there village, then, as the lava began to
pour, the sky god flew downwards, and carved a place for the lava to pour.
"the sky god saved us, mommy!!" she cried, clapping her hands.
"Yes he did." she said, picking up her little girl and crying.
**************
The teen boy swept dark hair out of his face, worry causing him to
look much older than he really was. The war had been ferocious, leaving
nothing unaffected. and now they were taking shelter against the onslaught
of missile bombardment from the infidels that dared call themselves
warriors of Allah. Explosions rocked the complex, and the surrounding area.
The screams of terror, and moans of pain had become almost common
place, quickly hardening one to one's own survival. Loss of family members
tended to do that to a person. the boy held his gun, promising some sort of
revenge for his departed family, before he too would die.
Then he caught sight of something out of the corner of his
eye. what was it? another missile? The boy turned to look and saw a blue
streak of light flashing across the heavens, with smoke clouds as a
backdrop.
Then it stopped, and began to shoot more rays of light, destroying
the missiles that were peppering his complex. The boy remembered hearing
the news about a western devil that could fly, and tricked people into
giving him their souls for saving their lives. But here was the devil,
stopping the missiles from falling on his complex.
Then out of the sky, came a bigger missile. But the sky Devil was
too busy destroying the tanks on the other side of the war zone to
notice. Or was it a sky devil? The boy didn't know. He didn't want his soul
to be taken because the sky devil had saved him without asking first. But
then, he wouldn't have to sign anything anyway would he? or was the devil
convinced the survivors would be so grateful, but they would give their
souls anyway?
Part of him was happy, when he saw the larger missile strike the
glowing Devil, but part of him was sad too. Now the bombardment would
continue. a large cloud of fire and smoke hovered in the air above him.
Then he could barely make out the color of blue as the fire and
smoke cleared. What was... it was still there?? The devil was still alive!!
the boy watched in astonishment, as it glowed brighter, its sky blue aura
growing with it, then it unleashed a large beam of blue light that scorched
downwards, ripping across the horizon line. dim explosions could be heard
as he watched the horizon fill with fire. The sky devil was destroying the
enemy missile launchers!!
The boy stood with his clothes flapping in the breeze, as he
watched the blue demon streak out of sight. But maybe it wasn't a demon. It
had helped them and hadn't asked for a soul at all. It had just left with
a streak of blue light.
*********************
Kid Rush was everywhere. And Jason was there to see it with
Kyle. Or follow it rather. They had posters, articles, and pictures printed
from the computer, they had everything. He'd even had a special ordered
shirt made with a pic he'd sent of Kid rush flying through the air, one of
the better shots a lucky photographer had made, after Kid rush had finally
revealed his name. Jason still couldn't believe a name he'd thought of had
ended up being used.
Jason stood at his door, waiting for Kyle to come by on his bike
before school. They usually rode to school, with each boy taking turns
pedaling and carrying the other one on his back.
"Hey sexy." Kyle said, as he rode up to the front porch. The two
boys shared a quick kiss, Jason gently pulling Kyle's head into his own.
"Hey yourself." Jason said back, after they broke apart. Jason
brushed the hair out of his eyes unconsciously. He loved kissing Kyle, and
he loved snuggling, but he'd not been able to get past that. Kyle had been
patient, had always waited for Jason to initiate something more. But every
time Jason had tried, he couldn't continue. The touching brought back bad
feelings. confused feelings. His fucking Father.
"how you doing?" Kyle asked, running his hand lightly across
Jason's back. Another referral to his lack of affection.
"Better. I just wish I could do more for you." Jason
replied. They'd done homework the night before, and as usual they'd
snuggled, and tried for more, with Jason eventually breaking down. Only
this time, he'd been crying, after having failed once again to control his
stupid emotions. Jason sighed to himself as he climbed on Kyle's back.
***************
Kyle was lost in too many thoughts. The last two months had been
insane. Dealing with hero things, helping Jason deal with his father
issues, and trying to juggle school with super heroing. it was really
making him tired. well mentally, anyway. He was worried about Jason,
worried about saving people and worried about the dreams he'd been having,
that were happening a lot more lately.. Plus, he hadn't told his dad yet
about being gay.
Then, of course, there were the government pleas on TV, for him to
get a hold of them. now they were listing some sort of toll free number he
could dial to speak to someone. How stupid was that? Lots of people would
call it, just to be able to say what they thought of the government, or
pretend to be him, for publicity.
"So, what do you think of that government thing?" Jason asked,
interrupting Kyle's thoughts. What did he think of it? He wasn't sure.
"I don't know. how would they figure out if it was really him or
not?" Kyle replied. The thought had been bothering him. Lots of things had
been bothering him. Those stupid dreams. They'd been getting more and more
involved. It was as if someone were talking to him.. but only now, could he
understand what it was saying. They had been more nightmarish lately, an
overwhelming sense that he needed to stop something.. or he'd lose
everything. And the feeling of Everything was so BIG.. he could hardly
contain the fear. He'd wake up in a huge sweat, his boxers and sheets were
drenched.
"Yeah. the Internet was talking about that. someone suggested maybe
voice technology." Jason finally said back. Kyle shook his head, trying not
to let his thoughts distract him. Jason was the only thing that really
mattered to him, so, if this dream was right.. he needed to protect Jason.
From what, he didn't know, but he'd do his best.
Cold air brushed past the boys' faces as they biked into the junior
high bike racks. It was strange how different traveling could be. Kyle
thought back to his flights over the oceans, through the clouds, even
through space. He'd left earth several times, to try to figure out what it
was that might be coming. Either the dream was like symbolic, or it was
real. so if it were real, he needed to figure out what this huge threat
thing was. If it was symbolic, then the only thing he could think of, that
was THAT important in his life, was Jason. So he wasn't sure which idea was
worse.
If anything Ever hurt Jason, he wouldn't know what he'd do. It was
a scary thought, to realize that he could feel that strongly about
something.
"Are you okay?" Jason asked him. "I'm sorry bout last night. I
know you want more, but.." Kyle cut him off.
"No, babe, it's not that. I just keep having these weird dreams."
Kyle explained. "It's like for some reason, I know the whole world will
end, and only I can do something bout it. It's really stressing."
"I guess it would be." Jason said, holding Kyle's hand, as they
walked across the grounds. It was strange how things were changing. Even
in conservative Utah. The whole gay thing wasn't so bad anymore. Nobody
wanted to be branded an outcast for picking on gay people. "I was afraid
you were angry at me."
"I can't possibly be angry at you. I tried it once." Kyle said,
seriously. Jason looked at him with a confused look, which then turned to a
worried one.
"What did I do?" He asked, sounding as if he was going to cry.
"You worry too much." Kyle said, pulling him close and kissing him
deeply before they walked inside the school. The school had kept it's same
policy, asking that kissing and deep signs of affection be left outside, no
matter what the sex was.
The two boys walked inside the school, headed towards Kyle's
locker. Jason had moved in with him, and became his locker partner. Kyle
HAD a locker partner at some point, but the kid never showed up. Kyle had
guessed he moved.
"I guess I do worry, but I care so much about you, Kyle. I want you
to be happy too. and if your not happy because I'm just too weird..." Jason
said, absentmindedly grabbing his wrists. That was a bad sign. Jason had
explained more about the cutting, and how his father had been abusive. If
Kyle EVER met the man, he'd probably lose it, and kill him. But now, he
had Jason to worry about.
Kyle grabbed Jason's wrist with one hand as he pulled him into a
deep hug with the other arm. "You are not weird. And don't think you EVER
have to do that. You don't ever have to do anything for me, that would make
you hurt." Kyle said, trying to comfort the shaking boy in his arms.
"You two are so cute, every time I see you!!" Michelle squealed as
she came up to the two boys. They broke apart quickly, realizing that they
might be pushing the hallway rules a bit far. "So has Alex got here yet?"
she continued, ignoring their obvious looks of embarrassment. It was
strange, but after the accident at the hospital, Alex and Michelle had
become friends. Rick too, as a matter of fact. It was strange how much his
life was changing after coming out as kid rush.
Kid rush. Kyle liked the name. he was rushing around a lot. mostly
do to the fact that he found out about disasters AFTER they happened. He'd
been doing patrols on weekends, and after school, on some days... trying to
keep up with all the bad things going on.
"not yet. How is Rick doing?" Kyle asked. Rick had been depressed
ever since his falling out with his ex friend. Losing your best friend
would do that to a guy.
"He's the same as usual."Alex said, coming up from behind. Kyle
wondered again how many kids he'd affected this way. had it been worth it?
The subject had come up more than once, among his friends, and he was happy
to hear that, for the most part, they had decided it was good, but still...
"I wish we could cheer him up." Jason said. " I know what its like
to be depressed." he said, gripping his wrist without thought. Jason had
told the rest of the gang some of his story, so they knew why he preferred
long sleeves.
"I think he was more in love with that stupid ass, than he will
admit." Alex complained, as they finished gathering their stuff. Kyle
really didn't know. Rick had been moping around for like 3 months or so
now. It was funny how fast time went by, when you were trying to do
school, homework, and super hero, all at the same time.
"Why doesn't he get over him?" Michelle asked. Kyle had to agree.
"they were so close, before." Alex shrugged. "But I still don't
think he's worth it, if he couldn't even accept his best friend." Kyle was
glad that Steven and Josh had been so cool about it. He really needed to
hang out with them more. But with super heroing and homework, he'd been
busy.
Then Kyle realized he was standing alone. "Hey wait!!" he cried,
chasing after his friends who'd already migrated down the hallway.
*************
Jason was sick of being so dumb. how could he ever work through his
feelings? Every time He and Kyle got close, he got all panicky. He knew
that Kyle loved him... and he was so patient. Jason KNEW it.. he just
couldn't quite accept it. How could Kyle feel so strong about him? how
could he be so patient? It was hard for him to believe it.. the way he kept
seeming to duck out at times. What else could there be, if it wasn't him?
maybe Kyle didn't know how to tell him it was over.
NO!! Jason gripped the side of his desk, trying not to think those
thoughts. Kyle had assured him, time after time, that he didn't want
anything to be over. He was willing to wait, he had said so, several times.
Jason thought back to lunch. it had been fun, sitting with the
guys, Alex and Michelle. They'd planned to hang out with Steven and Josh
that afternoon, something they didn't do much. Jason wasn't sure, but he
thought he might be distracting Kyle from his other friends. Maybe he
needed to talk to Steven or Josh. They didn't seem like it bothered them,
but maybe it did. And Kyle seemed to be uncomfortable about showing
affection in front of them. Maybe because he wasn't sure if they were okay
with it?
But he could be so sweet.. he was sweet all the
time. understanding, caring. He just didn't like doing it in front of the
guys. maybe he didn't want to make them feel weird. Maybe that's what was
bothering him. Because there was something on Kyle's mind. He was sure of
it. Jason wanted to help. Kyle had been so supportive, and he wanted to
return the favor.
so what was it? was it about their friends? was it about Jason?
Maybe it was everything. He just didn't know.
RING!!! Finally! School was out. Jason grabbed his books and
backpack waited for Michelle, at the door. They'd made it a habit to walk
together now that they were getting along. She had changed a lot since
September, and was actually becoming a really good friend, even if she was
a little ditsy. it was becoming cute now.. as opposed to annoying.
"So what do you and the guys have planned on your double date?"
Michelle asked. huh? double date?
Jason must have had a weird look on his face because she laughed.
"You didn't know Josh and Steven are together?"
"when did that happen? and why did they tell you and not me?" Jason
asked as they maneuvered down the hallway.
"They didn't. I can tell there is something there though. I don't
think they know it. Most boys are so clueless." She said, brushing his hair
out of his face. it had bothered Jason at the beginning when she did it,
but now it was a familiar gesture.
"Thanks."
"Not you and Kyle. I said most boys. You two are better with your
feelings." She laughed. Jason wasn't sure about that.
"So you really think Josh and Steven are gay?" Jason asked.
"Maybe. but only for each other." She explained.
"Huh?" What the heck was that? Jason had no clue. how could you be
gay for just one person?
"It's hard to explain. It's like you connect with one person. But
those two don't get it. At least I don't think so." She said thoughtfully.
Wow. To find one person you connect with. That was kinda deep. Jason knew
that Steven and Josh liked girls. But if they really felt something more
close to each other.. he guessed it could turn into sex.
"Whats hard to explain?" Steven asked, coming up from a side
hallway. Jason looked at Michelle who looked flustered.
"See. It IS hard to explain." Jason said, rescuing her. Steven and
Jason laughed, while Michelle blushed. "Our assignment." Jason added,
adjusting his backpack as he reached his locker.
"oh." he replied.
